Really constructive discussion we have goin' here! Namecalling, ad hominems, muddying the waters, strawmen, poisoning the well, mischaracterizations, oversimplifications, generalizations!

GT FEVER! CATCH IT!

A new dark age. But it figures, The GOP has helped facilitate the creation of a sort of New Aristocracy. I think something will be coming soon if the wealth of the majority of the people continues to be funneled to the top. We are seeing the oppression of a wealthy few, something that has sparked many revolutions all over the world in the past, Russia, France, South America. As horrible as it sounds there will be an uprising when the middle class hits rock bottom. I hope it is via the ballot box rather than the sword...but who knows.

Honestly, It's always been my thought that this is ultimately the reason we have the second amendment. As a fail safe in case the government fails the people and it becomes neccessary to overthrow tyranny again.

This may be true, and I certainly hope it is. But, I think there is always a danger that a desperate people will embrace full-bore socialism or dictatorship. It would be tragic for the country to end up ruled by a strongman who has to restore order over a squabling, angry, desperate population.

This is unquestionably true.
